Arlene Mabie is not only the library director at Hawkins, she also is the clerk treasurer for the recycling/disposal unit in Kennan (as well as a volunteer fire fighter and miniature horse-raiser…can you say Superhero?). She is motivated to encourage and educate people about reducing waste, re-using and recycling!
To celebrate Earth Day, she put together a display of books and included items made of recycled materials (bags, pens, pencils, and other office supplies). Having something tangible made of recycled materials right there to see and touch makes it easier to see the point of recycling!
